WWII vet beaten for his car
In Detroit a 91 year old WWII vet was beaten after the man who asked him for a light beat him for his car. The vet refused and was punched 21 times, but did not give up the car.
 
I can take umbrage, I can take the cake, I can take the A-Train, I can take two and call me in the morning, but I cannot take this sitting down. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to take five.

Re: WWII vet beaten for his car
Did they ever caught that punk who beat up a 90+ old lady for a measly few dollars? Saw that one from the Glenn Beck show a month ago and man, we seem to be seeing
a lot of these loosers on the prowl! Makes me want to go hurt these low-life scums of the earth!!!

Re: WWII vet beaten for his car
I saw that on CNN...I can't believe attacker would be so darn stupid to pull something
like that on a person.
And yet you have all these people standing around watching and did nothing....
Makes one wonder what this world is coming to when you see stuff like that.
As for the WWII vet he was one tough son of a gun.

He was a complete fighter pilot.......Colonel John C. Meyer Deputy Commander of the 352nd.

Re: WWII vet beaten for his car
What really upsets me is that there were a bunch of people watching, and no one did anything. I carry a 9mm that would have done plenty. I think that he should be charged with attempted murder when you consider the age of the vet.

Somebody should hunt down that SOB (Silly Oafish Bum) and give him a taste of the same.

Unfortunately had you shot the SOB, you'd be the bigger criminal in the public eye. I agree though, except that a .45 would make bigger holes.
